New Jersey Reckless Driving Tickets

It is the decision of the officer who pulls you over whether to charge you with reckless driving, careless driving or simply speeding. Reckless driving (N.J.S.A.39:4-96) charges carry the greatest penalties. If you are facing these charges, you need legal representation.

New Jersey Reckless Driving Ticket Defense

Since speeding tickets carry a lesser consequence, we can help you establish in court that you were traveling above the speed limit at the time you were pulled over. We show that you were simply speeding.

We will also evaluate the manner in which you were pulled over. Was the equipment used to determine your speed up to date? Were you pulled for an offense that could be better described as careless driving? We know the questions to ask, and we will find the answers.

Our lawyers carefully review the details of your case and the circumstances leading up to the moment you were pulled over. We understand the factors that influence these cases, and we remain alert for situations that could be thrown out or minimized.
